Thanks to Jason Dixon and Will Backman, the first 8 videos from the first DCBSDCon are now available in the BSDConferences YouTube channel. The audio quality for these is better than many of the previous conference videos because Jason was able to sync the audio with a direct recording from the podium taken by Will. These videos were also [...]

Xin LI pointed me at BSDroid, a project which aims to provide native binaries for tools and make it possible to develop Android applications on FreeBSD. This reminded me of the underreported fact that the Android software for the G1 phone uses various bits of NetBSD and OpenBSD userland, and of course the iPhone 3g includes elements of the [...]

Brooks Davis and Tim Kientzle have volunteered to help Robert Watson organize the FreeBSD participation in the Google Summer of Code program this year. After 4 consecutive years of running the program with Robert, I wanted to step aside to let others organize things this year. Brooks and Tim were excellent mentors in previous years and had [...]
